Description

Слово [The Word]
This was a free Sunday supplement to the newspaper of the same title, Slovo, which was a daily from 1929 to 1943. It was edited until 1937 by Pavel Ivanovich Zaitsev (1884-?), an engineer and journalist, who lived in Shanghai. Hamilton Library holds 23 issues published between l931-1933. The contents are largely stories on Hollywood, ballet, opera, numerous photos of people living in Shanghai, poems, and some serialized stories and accounts of historical events like the civil war.
All magazines and newspapers had to register with the police. The Shanghai Municipal Police files say that the newspaper was begun by Izmail Mussaevich Altadukov (1892-?). It had a "pro-Japanese" attitude from 1936-37, but largely supported the Russian Emigrant Committee under Viktor Fedorovich Grosse (1867?—1931). No mention of the supplement is made — it may not have had to apply for registration since it was part of the newspaper
